PHASE 149 (LEO 29°): A MERMAID EMERGES FROM THE OCEAN WAVES READY FOR REBIRTH IN HUMAN FORM.

KEYNOTE: The stage at which an intense feeling-intuition rising from the unconscious is about to take form as a conscious thought.

The mermaid personifies a stage of awareness still partially enveloped by the ever-moving and ever-elusive ocean of the collective Unconscious, yet already half formulated by the conscious mind. Any creative thinker or artist knows well the peculiar mixture of elation and anxiety characterizing such a stage. Will the intuitive feeling fade away reabsorbed into the unconscious, or will the inexpressible realization acquire the concreteness and expressible form of a concept or a definite motif in an art form?

This fourth symbol in the thirtieth five-fold sequence suggests that the fire of desire for concrete and steady form burns at the root of all techniques of self-expression. An unconscious energy archetype is reaching toward consciousness through the creator, as cosmic Love seeks tangible manifestation through human lovers. The whole pre-human universe reaches eagerly to the human stage of clear and steady consciousness. It is this great evolutionary urge, this elan vital, which is implied in this symbol of the mermaid seeking human incarnation — the YEARNING FOR CONSCIOUS FORM AND SOLIDITY. *

Leo 29: A mermaid

Emerging with a new skin...

The 'mermaid' degree is tightly woven with the 'birthing' degrees of Leo/Aquarius 14.

The theme is emerging into a new realm just as a newborn baby emerges from the womb into the world. Tenderness, softness and delicate factors are the qualities associated with emergence.

The motion is like that of wiggling free from something tight, something that binds... a useful tip for individuals with placements here. the 'wiggle' motion can be very liberating in many arenas of life when the situation becomes tight.

An oft cited version of Leo 29 reads "A mermaid has climbed to the rocky shore of a bleak coast; she awaits a prince who will bring her immortality" Immortality???? A Prince????? Good grief. Immortality is not a word that plays well with the symbolic images of the Sabian symbols. Yet we continue to see and hear other fanciful renditions of the Sabian symbols in written works of professional Astrologers. Unbelievable!

You might as well say "A mermaid crawls on a rock and waits for some handsome Irish boy to delivery her the gift of immortality and maybe some pizza... meanwhile someone with green eyes is making crinkling noise with a foil bag that had been blowing around in the wind, decides to blow it up and pop it".

The original symbol is "A mermaid". Nothing more is needed here in order to work and understand the sense of the symbol. Honor the original words, the original symbols.

Theme: Elemental shift.

Inspiration: Raising the vibration of your being is like moving from water into air, or air into water.

Today: A mermaid can shed her skin, transforming from a water being in order to walk upon earth.

Like a mermaid, energies are shifting…and can shift for you… with this key to guide the way: set the weight of your burden down.

The vibrational shift is ever from dense to lighter. Whatever has been carried… a responsibility, a sense of guilt, inadequacy… can be set down with rewarding results. Think of it as jumping into cool pool of clean water. Or, imagine coming in from the rain to a place dry and warm.

Showering, splashing water on your face, can refresh your higher spirit. The alternative feels dense and heavy. Take your pick. *

Theme: Other than it seems.

Inspiration: One definition of the 'mermaid' phenomena is to see something wondrous which turns out to be a glamour that is only skin-deep.

Today: Everyone has those times when the allure of something or someone is so enjoyed that when it turns out to be a fake, a knock-off, a seal in woman's clothing, the let-down can be steep

It may be treacherously easily to imagine good things today. Not that matters have to turn out false or less than promised, just that the possibility is magnified somewhat today. It may be treacherously easy to imagine not-so-good things today as well.

The core theme of the mermaid is to wiggle out of a tight position. If you are in a tight spot, just wiggle it a little and things may begin to move beautifully. Therefore, if you feel tight, things are probably other than they seem.*
